Security cameras, night vision and system

I have been looking for a system for a while and this one seems to meet all our needs, too many cameras, but hey, however the price is almost too good to be true. We want a system which we can turn on when we leave the house. For whatever prevention value it might intrinsically have the point is to get bodies and faces of whomever might invade the house, the garage or the tools bodega. Will some of you more techno advanced people take a look and see if you can tell me what is missing. Thanks.

No mention of a hard-drive and may require a specific one that may prove expensive. Just my first impression.

There are reviews for the same system (WITH a 500 GB hard-drive but that doesn't mean the ebay version comes with one) on Amazon

I've often thought that if you hid the cameras and then put up a dummy that they could see...they might take out the dummy and not be aware that they were still on camera;.

The zmodo website confirms "hard drive is not included".

Doesn't Costco Mexico carry one or more systems? Here is a link to what they offer on Costco.com NOB:

Devious Kippy! I like!

Me too!

I thought you could make birdhouses to fit them...maybe vases with patterns that disguised the lens....any other suggestions?

Me too, sometimes the best answers are just not that obvious. Off to Costco, really artistically challenged, no birds they “shit” but there are other things. Thanks

Just LOOK like bird houses!! LOL!
